Been seeing the new GoPro Hero 3 on the market but another versions have surfaced in China where houses one without the fancy packaging GoPro Hero3 Silver & Black models. The Black doe's not come with the Wifi remote either. The price is around $100 to $50 cheaper from the one in the fance packeging in most online RC shops. It looks like the real deal & it works just as well for FPV needs. another thing people have not considered is to build a camera array with 3 or more GoPros in side or outside a circular configuration for 360 wide angle 4k view. http://OFFTHEGRIDWATER.CA/

To cool to buy a Quad frame build your own! Build you own Ground station. GCS server Wifi enabled Xbee with bluetooth modules. The Idea is to be able to connect to your multi copter no weirs from a mobile phone or PC, tablet no matter what Operating system is being used. I have been working on this for some time. I have this running on a UNO with a double xbee shield, 2.4 xbee, xbee wifly module, Bluetooth wifly module. I would Like to add a web server to the mix to to display GCS data via Http or PHP. I found this Rascal board that uses python that built to do just what I am proposing. Hearer is the code I have so fare no web services yet. Do you think this is useful?
